• A comprehensive review on biosorption of heavy metals by algal biomass: materials, performances, chemistry, and modeling simulation tools. (2014, background): “94 Over the last two decades, the studies on biosorption were concentrated on the removal 95 of heavy metals by brown algae (Davis et al., 2003; Davis et al., 2000; Figueira et al., 2000; 96 Kleinübing et al., 2011; Lodeiro et al., 2005; Luna et al., 2010; Yu et al., 1999).”
• Biosorption of nickel(II) ions onto Sargassum wightii: application of two-parameter and three-parameter isotherm models. (2006, positive): “Its use was extended to empirically describe quilibrium relationships between a bulk liquid phase and a solid hase [10].”
• Bacterial biosorbents and biosorption. (2008, background): “Davis et al. (2003) reviewed the metal sorbing properties of brown seaweeds, and highlighted their biosorption mechanisms.”
• Biosorption: current perspectives on concept, definition and application. (2014, background): “There is some variation in the composition of algal cell walls, the only common component across algal divisions being cellulose (Davis et al., 2003).”
• Biosorption of heavy metal ions using wheat based biosorbents--a review of the recent literature. (2010, background): “A number of other reviews are available in the literature (Davis et al., 2003; Lodiero et al., 2006; Nurchi and Villaescusa, 2008; Romera et al., 2006; Shukla et al., 2002).”
• Use of Algae for Removing Heavy Metal Ions From Wastewater: Progress and Prospects (2005, background): “The available literature suggests that Pb is sorbed maximally compared to other metals in a majority of algal species (Tiem, 2002; Davis, Volesky, and Mucci, 2003).”
• On the optimal use of isotherm models for the characterization of biosorption of lead onto algae (2015, background): “Biosorption is a process which utilizes inexpensive dead biomass to sequester toxic pollutants (Kratochvil and Volesky, 1998; Davis et al., 2003, Gupta et al., 2012a).”
• Microbes as Potential Tool for Remediation of Heavy Metals: A Review (2016, background): “to break down (xenobiotics) and to mitigate toxic heavy metals, by altering them into elements with little or no toxicity, henceforth forming innocuous products [12,13].”
• Removal of toxic chromium from aqueous solution, wastewater and saline water by marine red alga Pterocladia capillacea and its activated carbon (2015, background): “OH) groups in the marine algae polysaccharides are believed to be responsible for impressive metal uptake by marine algae (McKay et al., 1999; Davis et al., 2003).”
